《植物学消遣》(Botanical Pastime)是19世纪初一款寓教于乐的问答游戏,这款游戏的植物学知识和插图主要参考了韦克菲尔德的《植物学入门》,让参与者了解当时盛行的林奈植物学。从知识的原创者林奈和植物学实践者卢梭的《植物学通信》到游戏的参考源《植物学入门》,植物学知识经过了科学家到科普作家和科普作家之间的两种传播方向。这款游戏是当时科学传播的新尝试,也是公众消费科学的一种方式。 Botanical Pastime is an entertaining quiz in the early 19th century. Botany Pastime, a botanical knowledge and illustration of the game, is based on Wakefield’s Botany Primer, Popular Linnaeus botany. From the original author Linnaeus and the botany practitioner Rousseau’s Botany Communication to the game’s reference source Botany Primer, botanist knowledge has gone through two directions of communication between scientists and science writers. This game was a new attempt to spread science at the time and was a way for the public to consume science.
